We found a snake on my patio. He has dark shades of green and is very small and resembles a boa I think. Does not seem aggressive but after being held too long did try to bite (and he does have teeth).Has a light line going long ways down his top.

Not good pics, but definitely a garter snake of some variety or other. Wash any open wounds with antibacterial soap, you'll be fine.

That's an eastern garter snake. Totally harmless & very common. Nice snakes to have around.

Definately a checkered garter snake. Even through blurryness of the picture you can clearly see the checkered markings.

Sounds like a garter snake or ribbon snake. Where are you located?
